Player: OL Andrus Peat
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: The Steelers signed veteran OL Andrus Peat yesterday, addressing thinning depth with Calvin Anderson and others injured. While he has guard versatility, Pittsburgh used him at tackle, and he could play tonight in Jacksonville. Signed to a Veteran Salary Benefit deal, it’s hard to gauge his odds of securing a roster spot, despite his background.
Give Mike Tomlin credit; the man knows what he wants and what he loves. And he loves himself some high-pedigreed veterans, both in draft stock and in genes.
